The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Missing 2

But now that she thought about it, something felt off. She was a rational woman—she knew how to separate what mattered from what didn’t. Yet yesterday, it was as if her emotions had been magnified beyond her control. ’Could this be a delayed effect of the same phenomenon that affected Zion and the others? Or perhaps the work of the dark fairies, amplifying one’s darkest thoughts?’

The problem was, she hadn’t been entertaining any dark thoughts at all. She had only been... more emotional than usual.

Addison forced herself to stop thinking about it—or perhaps her mind simply went blank—as she kept searching. She already turned the room upside down, but no matter how hard she looked, the dark fairies were nowhere to be found. A creeping nervousness began to coil in her chest, edging toward fear.

Knock... Knock... Knock...

"Addie, are you alright?" Zion’s voice came from outside the door. Only then did Addison realize they hadn’t left yet, they were still waiting for her.

She strode over and yanked the door open, startling Zion, Maxwell, and Levi. All three had sensed the sudden fluctuation in her emotions and grown worried, which was why Zion had knocked.

Now, seeing her up close, their concern deepened. Addison’s face was pale, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were unfocused—she didn’t look well at all.

"What’s going on?" Zion asked as he closed the distance in a single step. He cupped her face in his palm with a familiar tenderness, studying her expression, but Addison turned away and stepped back, avoiding his touch.

"I can’t find the dark fairies..." Addison said quietly, glancing at Maxwell and Levi so they would all know.

Zion barely registered the sting of her avoiding him earlier—her words hit harder, sending a jolt through his chest. The dark fairies hadn’t been purified yet, and their disappearance could only mean trouble. A cold sweat prickled at him.

"Let’s look around," Zion said quickly. Maxwell and Levi were already poised to act, but froze when they saw Addison shake her head. Her eyes lowered, heavy with self-reproach and guilt.

"If they’re not in my room and managed to escape, we might never find them..." Addison’s voice trailed off, until an idea struck her. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the others. "Elric! Let’s ask him to use tracking magic and see if he can trace where the dark fairies went!"

Fortunately, Elric’s room was on the same floor. Levi strode a few steps down the hallway, knocked on a door, and waited. After a short pause, a groggy old man shuffled out, still in his nightgown, rubbing sleep from his eyes.

He hadn’t even opened them fully when Levi yanked him into the hall, pulling him along before he could protest.

"Archmage Elric, we need your help," Levi said. Seeing the old man still half-asleep, he decided not to waste time and dropped the bomb. "The dark fairies are missing."

That did the trick. Elric’s eyes snapped wide open, his jaw dropping so far he could’ve swallowed a duck egg whole. For a moment, he was struck speechless.

Addison quickly stepped forward and explained the situation, and before she had even finished, Elric spun on his heel, dashed back into his room, and snatched up his staff. He hurried after them to Addison’s room, all traces of drowsiness gone.
